New inexpensive (and FAA approved) Redbird Flight Simulators

I read an interesting article today about the former CIO of Dell and PepsiCo, Jerry Gregoire, who is also a pilot. He started a new company by the name of Redbird.

Redbird uses inexpensive technologies to create FAA approved flight simulators that only cost $60,000 for the enclosed full-motion simulator (Redbird FMX) or $29,000 for a stationary non-enclosed simulator.

There are two flight schools at NJ airports that already have the full FMX model:
